Poll: Rossi ties Murray in hypothetical Senate race

A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows Sen. Patty Murray easily leading the GOP candidates who are challenging her.

However the survey suggests someone who isn’t in the race would have the best chance against the three-term Democratic incumbent. Dino Rossi, the former state senator and two-time GOP candidate for governor, leads Murray by two percentage points, according to the poll. That’s within the survey’s 4.5 percent margin of error.
